importing modified pants model

[nmycon]

many thx to everyone who helped me find, extract and edit the pants models, now I have another problem, i have edited the pants now i have to put them back into the initstay.BIG file.

The original file was inside a folder called "models" (which was inside the BIG file). How do I replace the original (what to put in a .bat file for gfxpak???)?

[Kccitystar]

gfxpak -u datainitprgz.big




mkdir models


mkdir misc


cd models


mkdir textures


cd ..


cd misc


mkdir textures


cd ..


gfxpak -u initpurge.big


move hibody.orl modelshibody.orl


gfxpak -d initpurge.big models/hibody.orl


gfxpak -p initpurge.big models/hibody.orl


gfxpak -p datainitprgz.big initpurge.big


rd /S /Q models


rd /S /Q misc


del initpurge.big


pause


gfxpak -u datainitstaz.big


mkdir models


mkdir misc


cd models


mkdir textures


cd ..


cd misc


mkdir textures


cd ..


gfxpak -u initstay.big


move hibody.ord modelshibody.ord


gfxpak -d initstay.big models/hibody.ord


gfxpak -p initstay.big models/hibody.ord


gfxpak -p datainitstaz.big initstay.big


rd /S /Q models


rd /S /Q misc


del initstay.big

Hope that helps

when i run the .bat i get errors that say initstaz and initprgz cant be opened and hibody.orl and .ord cant be opened for editing or writing (something like that) so when I run the game using the "new" files, the pants remain the same

use GFXPAK

[nmycon]

by that do u mean have the model and big files, the bat file and gfxpak in the same folder? because that is what i am doing

[Kccitystar]

put the hibody.ord and orl files in the same directory as MVP, not in the data folder

[nmycon]

k it still does not seem to be working, here is a detailed description of everything I did.

extracted the initprgz and initstaz files with this code in a bat file:

echo on

gfxpak -u initstaz.big (changed to initprgz after)

pause

mkdir models

mkdir misc

cd models

mkdir textures

cd ..

cd misc

mkdir textures

cd ..

gfxpak -u initstay.big (changed to initpurge after)

i copied the hibody.ord and hibody.orl from the model files to my Desktop

I used "ord to o" to create an o file

Used "Oedit" to edit the pants model

Saved the hibody.o file and deleted the original hibody.ord and hibody.orl files

Used "o to ord" to create a new hibody.ord and hibody.orl from the edited hibody.o

Deleted hibody.o

Moved hibody.ord and hibody.orl to C:Program FilesEA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2005

Moved gfxpak and hibody.bat (the name of the bat file using the code you gave me) to the same folder (MVP Baseball 2005) as the hibody files

Clicked on hibody.bat

Ran the game, but the pants remained the same

am i doing anything wrong

[Kccitystar]

Moved gfxpak and hibody.bat (the name of the bat file using the code you gave me) to C:...MVP Baseball 2005data

This. Those files do not belong in the data folder. They belong outside the data folder.

The problem you are having is that it is looking for a data folder IN the data folder :

copy hibody.ord and hibody.orl with the other two files (hibody.bat and gfxpak) into your MVP Baseball 2005 folder, the one with the EXE in it.

Don't run the .bat with the game running, it won't work.

put the file in a ZIP archive and use TiT

kc, you replied before i had time to edit my post, i made a mistake and the bat file and gfxpak were in the MVP directory along with the hibody files and it still didnt work, i even tried twice

kraw, i have 2 filed, will tit install both of them inside the BIG files?

[krawhitham]

Yes

ok guys i just realized that the pants did not change in game because i messed up editing.

i assumed that there was only one pants model so i edited part 10 (which did not change anything in game). WHen nothing changed, i assumed it was because something in the importing process screwed up, suddenly i realized there could be more parts that i needed to edit so i reopened oedit and edited part 24 and found that i had changed the long pants model for a heavy player.

What parts do I need to change if i want to change the pants model for skinny and athletic players?

Sorry for causing so much trouble :(

[Kccitystar]

There are only 2 leg parts in the game, well technically 3 if you count throwback jerseys, but there are 2 the game usually reads. One is used for the high socks/regular pants and another is for the long pants. The other is for cooperstown jerseys.

[nmycon]

ok then, which parts of hibody.o will i have to edit to change the pants model

(i edited part 10 and 24, 10 didnt change anything but 24 changed the model for heavy players only)
